        /*
         * 
         * Version #1: Optional<T> reduce(BinaryOperator<T> accumulator) - This
         * method performs a reduction on the elements of the stream, using an
         * associative accumulation function, and returns an Optional object
         * describing the reduced value.
         * 
         * For example, the following code accumulates names of all persons into
         * a String:

        Optional<String> optional = personList.stream().map(p -> p.getName())
                .reduce((name1, name2) -> name1 + ", " + name2);

        if (optional.isPresent())

            String names = optional.get();
            System.out.println(names);

    }

}

Output

Alice, Bob, Carol, David, Eric
